Psyche 
[Aug.-Oct. 
Types 12 examples Mt. Kina Balu, No. Borneo (Whitehead 
and Waterstradt) length 13-17 mm. Bow. Coll. 
Head with sparse fine punctures, the usual transverse de- 
pression divided by a deep fovea, antennae with 3 joint much 
longer than 2 (varying in sex) extreme tip dark, thorax with 
sparse, fine, scattered punctures, transverse depression obsolete 
in middle, deeply foveate at side, elytra strongly depressed 
within the shoulders and below the base, producing a tumid 
effect, punctures impressed but without striae, fairly regular in 
front and on the disk, becoming confused at the sidees and ob- 
solete towards the apex, the cyaneous color seems more intense 
at the sides, elytral margin strongly reflexed and deeply foveate 
laterally below the shoulder. Easily distinguished by the color 
and striate elytra. 
Hoplosoma melanocephalum sp. nov. 
Medium size, shining, light chestnut brown, head, antennae 
and feet more or less blackish, the latter especially on the upper 
side. 
Type 8 specimens, Fokien Bow. Coll, length 5-5j^ mm. 
Head convex, front very finely alutaceous, antennae half 
as long as body, 3 joint rather more than twice as long as 2, 
thorax nearly square, deeply arcuately depressed behind, the 
sides the most so, also a supplementary fovea on the anterior 
middle disk, elytra nearly impunctate, lightly depressed below 
the scutel. The dark head and legs help distinguish this form. 
In M. Donckier’s material labelled with what purports to be 
Mr. Jacoby’s manuscript name which I have preserved. Among 
the Donckier material is a set of specimens labelled Hoplasoma 
4- puslulatum Jac. This is Phyllobrotica ? ornata Jac. 
In looking over the new Catalogue of Galerucinse I am sorry 
to see generic names like Aulocophora, established for fifty years, 
superseded by others; and aside from strict priority (if that is 
granted) the utility of such change seems dubious. Ceratia in 
place of Triaplatys does not appeal to me. I retain denticornis 
Jac. in place of Jacohyi Wa. and martia Ws =denticornis Jac. 
Two new forms should be added to this subgenus.
